[QUOTE="moreluck, post: 852080, member: 1246"] Quit, Sept '08, cold turkey after smoking for 48 years. I want one every day. It's an extremely difficult addiction! I was told that one of my cancers was most likely from smoking. The diagnosis was a great incentive and made the quitting much easier. For me, distraction was the key. If I always had a smoke with my coffee in the morning at my computer, then I changed, poured my coffee and went to the recliner instead of the computer and read some paper. Usually, the craving would pass in a few minutes. I'd have to change my routine a bit all the time. I still have a pack of cigarettes in the cupboard. Everyday, I choose not to have one.........but I don't panic that the stores might be closed and I'd be out of cigs. No worries, they are right in my cupboard. It's a mental game for sure. They could put Anthony Weiner's weiner on the pack of cigs. and nobody will quit unless they really want to. I did notice that (except in Vegas) it was getting harder & harder to smoke in public....... Beaches, restaurants, bars, kiddie parks, neighborhood pools, etc. It's a lot easier not smoking. Another great benefit is the day after I quit, my night coughing stopped. Now, if I can just address the snoring !! [/QUOTE]
